lle became very widely known with hosts of friends, generous alnost to a fault, answering all kinds of appeals to his purse, of unconquerable activity and persistent energy, gifted with a humorous way of looking at things, always ready to lead or to do more than his part in public affairs when the cause had hisapproval, an early and enthusiastic Republican, a man who did not want office, but who worked hard for the cause and whose example and influence carried many more. There are many who can remember him in the Fremont days in 1856, when he was one of the original organizers of the Fremont Club; and almost as a matter of course he was one of the original " Wide Awakes" and marshal of the procession when Abraham Lincoln was at Hartford in 1860.

When the whole North was stirred in the early days of 1861, by the threats of the South, a number of young men organized in Hartford. under the name of the

Citizens Drill Corps, and with competent instructors were taught simple military evolutions, Colonel Bissell was a member, and with others graduated into the then recently-organized Hartford City Guard. He joined February 20, 1861, took part in the first parade May 1, rose to the rank of corporal, and while doing duty with the company at the State Arsenal, was appointed colonel commanding camp of recruits, located down on the New Haven turnpike. This was in September. 1862, and som after, on September 16th, he was appointed colonel of the Twenty- fifth Regiment.

This regiment, one of the best of Connecticut's nine months' regiments, was re. eruited in Hartford and Tolland counties, and was composed of young men of the best material. It was mustered into the United States service November 11, 1862. Three days later the regiment, consisting of over 800 men, left Hartford for Cen terville. L. L., and two weeks later sailed for New Orleans, La. The regiment was engaged in the battles of Irish Bend, La., April 11, 1863; the advances on Port Hudson, La., May 25-26 and June 14-15, and the engagements at Brashear City and Bayon Beruf, La .. June 23 21, 1863. The battle at Irish Bend was one of the hottest engagements of the war, considering the number of troops engaged and the time occupied in fighting. The regiment in this light lost ninety tive mien killed or wounded. being nearly one-fourth of the number who went into battle.

Colonel Bissell was necessarily absent from his command during a period some time after the battle of Irish Bend, being prostrated by malarial fever. He refused to be left with the sick and wounded, as ordered by the surgeon, and insisted on accompanying the regiment. Growing worse, he was finally sent to New Orleans. where he arrived nearly at death's door, and remained confined to bed for several weeks. From July 16, 1863, he commanded the Third Brigade, Fourth Division, Nineteenth Army Corps, with headquarters at Donaldsonville, La. Major McManus had command of the regiment during Colonel Bissell's absence.

As a commanding officer Colonel Bissell was a good disciplinarian, kind and con siderate to his men, and careful of their wants and health. In the tiehl, and when under fire, he was brave, cool, and determined. Although a stranger to the men of the Twenty-fifth Regiment when he was elected colonel by the line officers, he soon became well liked and afterwards very popular throughout the command. He had the power of imbning the officers and men of his regiment with his own magnetic spirit of enthusiasm, bravery, and promptitude.

After the war he kept up his active interest in the cause he had helped to defend and in all that related to its promotion and to the preservation, in a proper way. of the associations then formed. He was a member and truster of Robert O. Tyler Post. G. A. R . was one of the prime movers in securing the Memorial Arch to the memory of Hartford soldiers and sailors in the war, and chairman of the committer which selected the design and had charge of the work. He made the speech pre senting the manmint Time would fail to record the numberless ways in which his interest and activity were manifested in this one direction. In 1869-70 he was pay master general on Governor Jewell's staff. He commanded his old regiment ou Battle Flag Day, September IT. 1879 On his return from service he did duty with his first love, the City Guard, at various times, was one of the carly presidents of the Veteran Association, and in 1882 was captain of the Veteran City Guard.

He was a member of the Army and Navy Club and one of its founders, and of the Loyal Lejon as well as Tyler Post; he was always active in the Twenty -fifth Regiment Association, was its historian, and gave a large sum to cover the cus of ils list remion The sanw active public spirit ran through his life.

merous important estates. He was concerned in many business enterprises, the largest, perhaps, being the Wheeling Bridge & Terminal Railway Company, of which he had been at the head for three years.

Colonel Bissell was a great lover of paintings, and bought largely and with dis. crimination. He leaves a tine collection, which includes many good specimens of modern European artists and some excellent American pictures. About three years ago he made a voyage to Japan, and be with his wife and daughter already traveled extensively in their own country and in Europe. A trouble with digestion, com hined with untiring energy and great mental strain, closed his active and useful life, April 11, 1891.

In announcing his death, the Hartford. Courant (April 13do said: " He was full of public spirit and of enthusiastic patriotism, and when there came opportunities to advance the city or to defend the country he was ready in the cause. In the se rious duties of citizenship he did his part well, and his contagions enthusiasm has time and again aroused his fellow-citizens. AAlong with the seriousness of purpose. which proved itself on occasions of necessity, he possessed an unlimited fund of good nature and a keen and clever wit, and his bright sayings have day after day carried a smile through the whole circle of his wide acquaintance. for he knew everybody and everybody know him, and no one else was like him. He was a fa miliar figure in Hartford and he will be much missed and sincerely mourned in the city to whose interests he has shown himself so truly devoted."

THE BISSELL FAMILY.

Y city; thence, in 1817, he rem. to Geneseo, N. Y., where he continued as a mer- chant until the spring of 1828, when he removed to Lockport, N. Y., and erected there one of the most extensive mills then in Western N. Y., and soon became pos- sessed of a large property and a beautiful home. In the spring of 1833, while on a western tour, he visited the present Toledo, then known as Port Lawrence and Vis- tula, containing, at that time, less than 100 inhab., and so impressed was he with the commercial importance of this point, that he made a large purchase of real es- tate and liberal expenditures in various improvements. In 1836, with a few others, he began to build the Erie & Kalamazoo R. R to Adrian, 33 miles, at a cost of $300,000, and it was so far completed in July, 1832, as to commence the running of cars, by horses, and at a time when not a barrel of pork or four came over the road for the first year; but the road was in daily use to feed the population of Southern Michigan, It was this road which, in after years, proved to be the lever that finally settled public opinion in favor of Toledo as the only commercial point of any great Value at the S. end of Lake Erie. The final result of building this road, at a time when all knew that it would not pay as an investment, was to concentrate at this point several important railroads, costing millions of dollars, and the 700 miles of canal, the business of which, connected with Lake Erie, was done at this point. These were the logical results of the opening of the road to Adrian, for which the State was more indebted to Mr. B. than to any other ten men. The financial crash of 1837 almost ruined him, making the later years of his life laborious in the effort to remedy the losses of that destructive year -an effort in which he was, in some degree, successful. Though disappointed in the slow growth of Toledo to the eminence which he early foresaw for her, his faith was never dimmed in the tinal attainment of this position among the cities of the West. Mr. B. was a man of education and refinement, of great foresight and sagacity; an energetic worker who knew no such word as "fail." While he commanded universal respect and confidence in business circles, he was, owing to a natural reserve and dignity, known intimately only in the domestic circle, where his affectionate and unselfish character was fully displayed. Far-seeing and thoughtful, his views of life were eminently practical and sensible, and he early advocated many of the doctrines which are now daily growing in popularity, especially those pertaining to the rights of women. At a time when their defenders stood singly and alone, he advocated their equality in law - their equal need of, and right to, a collegiate, and even to business education, as a dependence for the future. In these views he was in ad- vance of his times. Children :
